God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Counseling Principles:
1. When seeking to bring about change, never attempt to do so in the abstract; people change only in concrete ways.
2. Always give hope. People will not persevere during the often-difficult process of change without hope.
3. Never minimize the severity of problems; instead always maximize Christ and His power to solve problems.
4. If a person has a life-dominating problem, aim at total restructuring.
5. Always approach the seemingly hopeless situations with emphatic disagreement. Empathy alone removes all possibility of help. Disagree when the counselee says, “It’s hopeless.” Say, “It is difficult, but not too difficult for God.”
6. Don’t become orientated toward people’s problems, but toward God’s solutions.
7. Gauge how much change is now feasible; too little is boring, too much is discouraging.
8. Don’t let people settle for less than the scriptural solution.
9. Use biblical, or biblically derived, language when analyzing and labeling problems, and when planning solutions to them.
10. Be command-oriented rather than feeling-oriented.
Since God compels believers to care for children whose parents have been killed (orphans – Jas. 1:27), wouldn't He also compel us to care for children whose parents want to kill them? Whereas the orphan is bereft because his parents are dead, the unborn child on the way to the abortion clinic is bereft because his parents want him dead, and that's a worse condition to be in. By reasoning from the lesser to the greater, we can be fairly certain that God's concern for orphans also mandates concern for unborn children.
Cut cooked chicken breast meat into 1/2 inch cubes and set aside. Blend
mayo and sour cream in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Add cubed chicken meat, grapes and almonds and mix lightly, coating
chicken. Stir gently until blended. Refrigerate 1 hour. Can serve with
lettuce instead of bread.
If the salad is too dry, add more mayo.
